Home Comforts 


The Home Comforts, such as running water, 
sanitary plumbing, modern heating and electric 
lighting, which are so essential to your health 
and happiness, may now be purchased on very 
liberal terms. 


There is no reason why you should delay mod- 
ernizing your home. In the following pages we have 
endeavored to give you important information 
about all Modern Home Comforts. 


Entire plants are quoted, so you can easily de 
termine just what it will cost you to put in Modern 
Home Comforts. You can make payments to suit 
your convenience. 


Here Is What We Require 


1. Send as large a payment as you can with the 
order. 
2. Make your Monthly Payments as large as you 
can afford. 
3. Pay interest at rate of 6 per cent per year on 
balance. 
Your interest becomes less each time you make a payment, 


so you will make asaving by paying in full in the shortest 
possible time. 


Combination Outfits 


We will gladly make the same terms on combi- 
nation plants and will be guided by your ability to 
make payments if you want a combination of two 
or three outfits amounting to about $600.00 or 
more. On large purchases we will extend the time 
up to five years, so that your monthly payments will 
be conveniently small. 


Modern Home Comforts Cost 
Comparatively Little 


On the average farm you can have running 
water, sanitary plumbing, electric lights and a heat- 
ing plant, all for about $1,000.00. Spread this cost 
over a period of five years and the expenditure is 
hardly noticeable. When the price is so moderate, 
and the terms so liberal, why shouldn’t you make 
arrangements now to have them?

Real Service on Your Purchase. 


More important than all else in the contem- 
plated purchase of modern home conveniences is 
the question of service—not only merchandise of 
quality and quick shipment of that merchandise, 
but a service that takes your problem from the very 
beginning, studies it completely, tells you what is 
best for you to install, gives your order individual 
attention when it reaches our store, follows it care- 
fully until it is shipped complete, and keeps in touch 
with you after installation is made to be sure that 
everything is just exactly as you expected it. Ina 
word, to make sure that you are absolutely satisfied 
with the transaction and glad that you gave us your 
order. 

To render a complete service of this kind requires 
trained men. We have them. Heating engineers 
who can solve your heating problems; plumbing 
experts who know by experience what is needed for 
a plumbing and water supply system to give depend- 
able service; men who are capable of laying out a 
complete power equipment—engine, line shaft, pul- 
leys, belting—show you how to connect up your 
cream separator, washing machine, feed mills, etc. 
A complete service of this kind also requires a pur- 
chasing organization that is capable of securing the 
class of merchandise that will mean utmost satisfac- 
tion to the user. Our experience with merchandise 
in general, and with the market, fits us especially 
well to handle your Home Comfort business in 
every detail.

Install a Modern 


J Water Works Outfit in Your Home 
Pay on Our Easy Payment Plan 


Easily Installed 


Our Ever Ready Pneumatic Water Supply Systems are very easily installed. 
It does not require an experienced plumber or pipefitter to connect up any of 
these outfits, nor does it require an experienced electrician to connect up our 
Ever Ready Automatic Electric Outfits. All you have to do is attach the plug 
to any ordinary electric light socket, connect up the pipe and it is ready for 
use. Full instructions for installing and operating are furnished with all of 
these various systems, and any man who can cut and thread ordinary iron pipe 
can easily install any of these outfits by following our simple plans and 


instructions, 
Write for Our Estimate 


If in doubt as to which outfit will best suit your purpose, fill out one of our 
special water supply information blanks enclosed with this catalog and return 
it to us for our special estimate. We will prepare a complete proposition for 
you on a modern outfit that we will guarantee to take care of your requirements, 
and you will find our prices very reasonable.

Why not act right now? Fill out the information blank and send it to us. 
We will make you a proposition on one of these modern outfits and you begin 
at once to enjoy the great conveniences of modern plumbing in your home. 


Fresh, Pure, Running Water at the Turn of a Faucet 


Why continue to carry water for the house, for the stock or the garden, 
when you can have running water any place you want it on the farm for 
such a small investment? A small payment down is all that is necessary to 
bring you any of the modern pneumatic water supply systems listed in this 
catalog and you can begin at once to enjoy this great convenience. 

Did you ever stop to think of the number of tons of water that are carried 
on the average farm in the course of a year where there is no Modern Water 
Supply System installed? Just stop a moment and figure the number of 
bucketfuls of water that you carry from the pump every day, and then figure 
what this amounts to in the way of hard labor in the course of a year. When 
this is reduced to actual figures, the result is really startling, and if those 
folks who continue to carry water day after day could realize how easy it is 
to eliminate all this unnecessary labor, we feel sure there would not be a farm 
home in the country without one of these Modern Water Supply Systems. 


We Have Outfits for Every Requirement 


You will find outfits of various types and sizes in this catalog to meet any 
ordinary requirements. We have Automatic Electric Water Supply Systems, 
as illustrated and quoted on the opposite page; Hand Power Outfits, as_illus- 
trated and quoted on page 6, and Gasoline Engine or Windmill Driven Outfits 
as illustrated and quoted on pages 7 and 8. The Hand Power Outfits and our 
Automatic Electric Water Supply Systems are used for pumping water from 
shallow wells or cisterns. For the farm home or town residence, where electric 
current is available, the best outfit to install is one of our Automatic Electric 
Outfits illustrated on the opposite page. If electric current is not available, of 
course, our Hand Pumping Outfits will give good service. For larger require- 
ments, pumping water on large stock farms, etc., or from real deep wells, our 
Windmill Driven or Gasoline Engine Driven Outfits, quoted on pages 7 and 8, 
are recommended. 


Attach the screw plug of this out- 
if fit to any electric light socket just 
as you would an ordinary electric 
flatiron or washing machine, con- 
nect the pipes and it is ready for 
use. Nothing complicated about it.

make allowance for this. 


The Size of Outfit You Will Need. 


To determine the size water supply system you will need to take care of your 
requirements, it is first necessary, of course, to estimate as accurately as you can the 
average number of gallons of water that are used on your premises per day. 
average family uses from 75 to 150 gallons of water per day for the house alone. 
Then, of course, if you have stock to take care of, it will be necessary for you to 
Always select an outfit with a little excess capacity. 


Automatic ~= 
Electric Water 
Supply Systems 


The Modern Water Supply System is the foundation of 
all plumbing conveniences in the home. After you once 
have a good reliable water supply system installed, it is 
a very simple matter to extend the pipes and have run- 
ning water wherever you want it on your premises. 

Our Automatic Electric Water Supply System, illus- 
trated here, will automatically supply running water to 
your bathroom, kitchen sink, laundry, ete, By installing 
one of cur modern oil or gas water heaters and a range 
boiler you can have running hot water in your kitchen, 
bathroom or laundry, These outfits may be used for 
pumping from wells or cisterns in which the lowest 
water level is not more than 22 feet below pump, You 
can extend the piping to your barn for watering stock, 
if you wish, and have hydrants conveniently placed for 
lawn or garden sprinkling. All of these conveniences are 
yours aS soon as you have one of these modern outfits 
installed in your home, 


There is nothing complicated or difficult to understand 
about this outfit. It is easy to connect up. As far as the 
electrical part is concerned it is just. as easy to connect 
up as an ordinary electric flatiron; just screw the plug 
into any electric light socket, turn the button and the 
outfit immediately starts pumping. 


A suction pipe is, of course, extended to your well, 
and discharge pipe from the pump is connected to the 
water supply in your home. Any man who can cut and 
thread ordinary iron pipe can easily install this outfit 
in a few hours. When once installed, aside from the 
occasional supplying of oil, it needs no further attention, 
It starts and stops automatically, and will always keep a 
liberal supply of fresh water under pressure in the tank, 
and the moment you open a faucet anywhere on the 
piping system you will get a plentiful supply of water. 
_ The tank is made of steel and is capable of withstand- 
ing from two to three times the pressure under which It 
is placed. It is listed in both black and galvanized. - 

The pump is of a type embodying the latest improve- 
ments of the most reliable electric house pumps now in 
use and, in addition, has several exclusive features

It has a capacity of 125 gallons per hour. It is self 
priming and has a splash system of oiling, which makes 
it operate with little or no noise. 

The motor is built especially to meet the requirements 
of this system. It is made by one of the largest electric 
motor manufacturers and is of the latest approved design. 

The automatic switch starts and stops the motor, keep- 
ing the pressure between 20 and 35 pounds. It is of 
simple construction and has but few working parts. By 
merely tightening or loosening a nut at the top of the 
switch, either a higher or lower pressure can be main- 
tained. 

The valves and gauges consist of a brass relief valve, a 
stop or shut-off valve, a pressure gauge and a water 
gauge. The relief valve is a safeguard, preventing an 
excess pressure upon the system should the regulating 
switch ever fail to work properly..;.;:The pressure gauge 
shows the pressure on the system and the water gauge 
indicates the height of the water in the tank. 

With each outfit we furnish a*guarantee which protects 
you absolutely against inferior workmanship or material; 
also full directions for installing.

ur Plumbing Systems Easily 
Installed 


The illustration on this page shows a “cut away” view of our modern plumbing systems installed 
in the average building. , 

There is not a single connection in this entire installation which can not be readily understood 
and easily made by anyone who follows our simple plans and instructions. 

There is nothing mysterious or difficult about any part of this entire work. Any man who can 
cut and thread ordinary iron pipe and screw it together can easily install any of our complete 
plumbing systems. 

If you do not care to do the work yourself you can get in touch with some handy man in your 
locality and let him do the work for you. 

It will pay you well to look after the installation of the material yourself even though you may 
not do the actual work. Many of our customers have followed this plan and by so doing say they 
have saved anywhere from $50.00 to $200.00 on their complete plumbing systems. 

It usually is not difficult to find a good handy man who will be willing to undertake this work 
for you at a fair working wage. He does not necessarily have to be an experienced plumber. 

By overseeing the installation yourself you will get just as good or perhaps a more satisfactory 
job than you would if you let the job by contract and did not personally supervise the work. 


**Now we’re all set, Son. We have the tools, 
we have the Instruction Book, and we have the 
hands. It looks to me as though ANYONE, even 
if he’d never laid a pipe in his life, could do pretty 
nearly a perfect plumbing job if he followed the

This sanitary plumbing outfit for the kitchen con- 
sists of a beautiful white enamel sink as shown, a forty- 
gallon range boiler, a water heater, together with all 
the necessary pipes and fittings to install these parts 
complete in every detail. 


THE SINK. A handsome, serviceable sink that is 
suitable for most kitchens. The sink can be furnished 
with drain board on either the right or left side. (Be 
sure to state which you want when ordering). It is 
furnished complete with nickel plated trimmings, trap 
and waste pipe to wall. The sink is 48 inches long 
over all. The basin part proper is 20 inches wide and 
26 inches long; the drain board is 20 inches wide and 
22 inches long. The drain board is grooved and per- 
mits quick draining to the basin. 


Here is a sink that is serviceable, neat in appearance 
and will save the housewife thousands of steps every 
year, because everything is handy and convenient for 
the many jobs she does every day. It is of greatest 
help in the daily work. Only the woman who has 
never had the opportunity of working in a kitchen 
equipped with a modern sink will really appreciate 
the savings and help this sink will be for her. 


THE RANGE BOILER. Running hot water is 
just as easy to have as running water. And there is 


nothing that adds so many conveniences to the home 
as running water. For wash day, for scrubbing, for 
bathing—running hot water helps in many ways to 
lessen the labor of the woman. 


If you have running cold water, all you need do to get 
running hot water is to connect the range boiler to the 
water front of your coal range or to a coil in the furnace 
or to a gas water heater. The range boiler shown here 
is heavily galvanized inside and outside to protect it 
from rust. It is a 30-gallon capacity, the usual size for 
the average family. If a larger size is required, we 
will gladly quote you prices. 


A gas water heater when connected to the range 
boiler will furnish an abundance of hot water for bath, 
kitchen and laundry. The gas heater shown in this 
illustration has 18 feet of copper tubing contained in a 
cast iron jacket ; burner is cast iron with drilled outlets 


and fitted with gas valve and air mixer. This com- 
plete sanitary kitchen outfit includes sink and range 
boiler and all pipes and fittings for installation. The 
gas heater is sold complete with bathroom outfits 
shown on pages 10, 11, 12 and 13, where combination 
prices are given on easy terms. The price of the gas 
water heater is not included in these prices.

This sanitary kitchen plumbing outfit consists of 
a beautiful white enamel sink, a 40-gallon range boiler, 
an instantaneous water heater, together with all the 
necessary pipes and fittings to install these parts com- 
plete in every detail. 


THE SINK. The sink is furnished with either a left 
hand corner and a right hand drainboard, or with a 
right hand corner and a left hand drainboard.. (Be 
sure to mention which you want.) It is furnished 
complete with nickel plated trimmings, trap and waste 
pipe to wall. The sink is 48 inches long over all. The 
basin part proper is 20 inches wide and 26 inches long. 
The drainboard is grooved as illustrated and permits 
quick draining to the basin. 


One of the greatest conveniences for the kitchen is a 
one-piece sink. It is easy to keep clean, because the 
sink is made of cast iron in one piece and is then coated 
with a white porcelain enamel—a glasslike substance. 
The sink is free from cracks, crevices or sharp corners 
into which grease or dirt can lodge. 


THE RANGEBOILER. Running hot water is easy 


to obtain if you have running cold water. It is only 
necessary to have a range boiler as shown, connected 
to the water front in the kitchen range, or to an instan- 
taneous water heater operated by gas or gasoline, or to 


a coil in your furnace. We illustrate the range boiler 
connected to an independent heater which is the best 
method. We illustrate the range boiler connected to a 
range; also to the independent heater. 


The range boiler shown here is heavily galvanized 
inside and outside. All parts are heavily coated with 
zinc to protect it from rusting. The price on this outfit 
is based on using a range boiler of 30 gallons capacity, 
which is the size needed for the average family. Ifa 
different size is required, write us, stating your needs, 
and we will quote a special price. 


The Hercules Kerosene Water Heater is an inex- 
pensive means of supplying hot water in the country 
home having running water but no city gas. It has 
four copper heating coils, enclosed in a cast iron 
jacket. The reservoir holds one gallon of kerosene, 
and is fitted with a gauge showing the height of oil. 


In this illustration, we show the range boiler con- 
nected to the coal range, also to an independent kero- 
sene water heater, but the kerosene heater is not 
included in this special offer. 


This outfit includes the sink and range boiler, all 
pipes and fittings for installation, and is sold complete 
with bathroom outfits shown on pages 12 and 13, where 
prices on the complete materials are quoted.

Cesspools and Septic Tanks 


Where there is no public sewer con- 
nection, we highly recommend a sys- 
tem like that illustrated above, which 
will take care of all the sewage from 
kitchen sinks, slop sinks, laundry tubs, 
floor drains, water closets, lavatories 
and bathtubs, collecting and preparing 
the waste for final disposal by running 
into field tile or distributing ditches, or 
a filter bed, or even into a running 
stream that is not used for drinking pur- 
poses. We furnish full description of 
how to construct cesspools and septic 
tanks, also how finally to dispose of the 
drainage. If you have no public sewer 
near you, by following our directions 
and suggestions with reference to the 
above installation you will be able to 
dispose of all the waste water in the 
most convenient and sanitary way. 


We recommend emptying all the 
kitchen drainage from sinks, laundry 
tubs, etc., first into a cesspool which col- 
lects all the grease and then carrying the 


water from which the grease has been 
removed from the cesspool into the 
septic tank, where, with the bathroom 
drainage, it is finally disposed of through 
the siphon in the second or siphon 
chamber of the septic tank, and from 
there conducted wherever it is to be 
finally disposed of. The reason for hay- 
ing both a cesspool and a septic tank is 
that the grease from the kitchen drain- 
age greatly hinders if it does not prac- 
tically prevent the activity of the bac- 
teria which help clear up the bathroom 
sewage in the septic tank, while if the 
grease is separated from the kitchen 
sewage such action will go forward 
without hindrance. 


The cesspool (catch basin) shown in 
the illustration is a watertight cesspool, 
built of concrete. Tight cesspools can 
be built of concrete, brick or stone. 
There’s another variety, called a “leach- 
ing’ or “seeping” cesspool or catch 
basin, which is built of stone or brick, 
laid loosely together without mortar. 
Leaching cesspools allow the water to 
seep through the sides while retaining 
the solids, and will carry off the waste 
water without pipes if the ground is ab- 
sorbent. We do not recommend a leach- 
ing cesspool, however, for the reason 
that there is always a chance of con- 
tamination and poisoning of drinking 
water if the well or spring is not far 
from it. 


A leaching cesspool can only be used 
when the soil is sandy or otherwise por- 
ous. It should never be placed nearer 
than 100 or 150 feet from the well or 
other source of water supply, and then 
only when the natural drainage is away 
from the water supply. It is built of 
loose brick or stone without the use of 
cement or mortar, about 4 feet wide by 
6 feet deep. Figure 11 gives an idea of 
how to build it. The liquid seeps out 
into the surrounding soil, while the solid 


matter remains in the cesspool until re- 
moved. 


Tight cesspools (see Figure 12)- are 
built of brick, stone or concrete, and to 
be watertight should be cemented in- 
side with a mixture of one part Port- 
land cement to two parts of fine sand. 
The inlet and outlet pipes should be ar- 
ranged somewhat as in Figure 12, the 
inlet running about a foot below the 
surface, while the outlet extends about 
half way down. The cesspool should be 
12 to 15 feet from the house, and so 
placed that there will be no possibility 
of any leakage getting into your water 
supply. It should be at least 4 feet wide 
by 6 feet deep. 


The waste water from the tight cess- 
pool is conducted through glazed tile 
with cemented joints or through cast 
iron pipe to a flowing stream or other 
suitable outlet, or is disposed cf by sur- 
face or subsurface drainage.

Figure 13. 


A septic tank is nothing but a con- 
crete tank divided into two compart- 
ments, with a connection between them 
(see Figure 13). The sewage from the 
house runs into the first compartment. 
When enough has collected to rise to 
the outlet to the second compartment 
the liquid runs over into it, and when it 
rises to a certain height in the sec- 


ond compartment it is automatically . 


siphoned out and is finally purified by 
running it through a filter bed or dis- 
tributing it in the ground. 


The great difference between this tank 
and the ordinary cesspool is the natural 
process which takes place in the first 
compartment, due to the action of mil- 
lions of bacteria, which live on filth and 
thrive in the dark. In a cesspool the 
liquid runs off, leaving the solid sewage, 
which decomposes and gives off not 
only disagreeable odors, but millions of 
disease producing germs. In a septic 
tank the size of the first compartment 
is figured to hold the sewage that would 
naturally collect in eighteen to twenty- 
four hours, before it passes on into the 
second compartment. In the first or 
settling compartment a thick scum 
forms on top of the sewage, which keeps 
out the light and air. This is favorable 
to the growth and action of certain bac- 
teria which cannot live in the air on 
light, and these turn the greater part

of the sewage into a liquid that is about 
40 per cent pure. 


The first compartment of the septic 
tank should have a closed manhole 
cover. The pipe carrying the sewage 
from the house into it should extend 
down toward the bottom, so as not to 
disturb the scum at the top. In the 
eighteen to twenty-four hours that the 
sewage should remain in the settling 
compartment, it is nearly all turned into 
liquid form, and then runs over into the 
second or siphon compartment, which 
should have a manhole cover with holes 
to admit air. 


The object of the siphon in the second 
compartment is to empty it only from 
time to time whenever the liquid rises 
to a certain height above the siphon. 
This is to give the soil or filter bed, 
where the liquid is finally disposed of, 
time between emptyings to dry and air 
out. The time between discharges de- 
pends on the size of the siphon compart- 
ment, and should be regulated by the 
kind of soil or filter into which the 
liquid is run. If the soil is a heavy 
loam with poor natural drainage, there 
should be more time between dis- 
charges; therefore the second compart- 
ment should be larger. If the soil is 
very porous, or there is a decided fall to 
the land and the natural drainage is 
good, the discharge can be more fre- 


eae 22a 2 ae

quent, and so the siphon compartment 
can be smaller. The soil or filter bed 
must not become waterlogged, other- 
wise the waste accumulates faster than 
the ground can dispose of it and fer- 
ments, giving off bad odors. 


Figure 13 shows the general shape 
and proportions of the septic tank. The 
exact location of the siphon need not 
be followed. It could be in the corner 
as well as in the middle of the end. 
Figure’ 13 shows a cross section of the 
tank, and illustrates the positions of the 
cast iron pipe connections. 


Location of Septic 
Tank 


The septic tank, although practically 
airtight and watertight, should be lo- 
cated as far from the house and the 
source of water supply as conditions 
will permit. This reduces the chances 
of any sewage getting into the drinking 
water, and prevents the nuisance of bad 
odors. Select a place where the ground 
is sufficiently level to provide for the 
overflow drainage described later. The 
fall from the house should not be too 
steep either. At least the last 100 feet 
of sewer pipe from the house should 
not slope much more than Yo of an 
inch to the foot.

Ordinarily the materials that go to make up a 
heating plant have to pass through a number of 
hands before they reach you. Each middleman adds, 
and is entitled to, his profit. Our method of selling 
direct from the factory, without the great expense 
of the usual sales force, and with a reasonable profit 
added, explains the unusually low prices we quote 
you on high grade material. Our plants cost just 
as much to manufacture, and it is the original cost 
that counts. 


The Advantages of Hot Water and Steam 
Heating 


Hercules Hot Water and Steam Plants possess in 
common a number of very desirable features. Both 
make use of water as the carrier of heat. Water, of 
course, retains heat much better than air—does not 
lose it as readily when carried a considerable dis- 
tance. Hot water or steam plants are, therefore, 
better than warm air furnaces for large houses and 
other buildings of considerable size. In both systems 
the heat is carried in small, hardly noticeable pipes, 
involving less disturbance to put in an old building 
than the installation of a warm air system. From the 
very fact that water retains heat so well, it is un- 
necessary to pay as close attention to the boiler as 
with a warm air furnace, where the air is heated 
directly. And it takes less fuel to keep up the heat. 


The illustration to the right will give you a 
clear idea of just how a hot water plant operates. 
The water in the boiler, heated by the fire, rises 
to the radiator, where it gives up its heat and 
then returns through the return pipe to the boiler 
again. The reason for this circulation of the water 


Four Principal Modern Heating Systems 


Steam, Hot Water, the Warm Air Pipe Furnace and the Warm Air Pipeless Furnace 


Let Us Estimate for You 


We will gladly give you, free of charge, an esti- 
mate or bid on a complete Hercules Heating Plant 
of the kind you wish if you will merely fill out the 
estimate blank enclosed with this book. All we need 
is a few rough sketches of the different floors of your 
building, together with the measurements. Let us 
know what sort of heating you prefer, whether hot 
water, steam or warm air. If you have not already 
a preference, we explain on the following pages the 
differences and merits of the four principal systems. 
After reading these pages it will be easy for you to 
make your own selection. 


The estimate we send you will be for a plant of 
the proper size, including all the material necessary 
for erecting it complete, a plant that will heat your 
building satisfactorily throughout, in all kinds of 
weather, with the least expense of fuel. 


In asking for our estimate you do not put yourself 
under the slightest obligation to buy from us. We 
are glad to give you our figure. Let us tell you 
what it will be.

is that hot water is lighter than cold water. The 
hot water in the boiler is forced out and upward 
by the cooler, heavier water coming down from 
above. The water also expands when it is heated, 
which explains the necessity of the expansion tank 
to take care of the increased volume. 


The rate at which the water travels depends upon 
the difference in temperature between the water 
going to the radiator and that coming back from it. 
It has been found that when water is placed under

pressure it can be raised to a higher temperature 
before it will boil. As remarked, the higher the 
temperature, the faster the circulation and, therefore, 
the hotter the radiators can be kept. Our Hercules 
Improved Circulator, which we include in our esti- 
mate, unless asked to omit, gives the necessary extra 
pressure, increasing the rate of circulation to a 
degree which gives our Hercules Hot Water Plants 
practically the combined advantages of both a hot 
water and steam heating system. 


The operation of a steam heating system is shown 


in the illustration above. The steam from the boil- 
ing water in the boiler rises through the pipe at the 
top and travels to the radiators. There, on giving 
up its heat, it is condensed to water again and flows 
back through the return pipe to the lower part of 
the boiler. Low pressure steam systems are exten- 
sively used for large buildings, such as apartment 
houses, schools, etc. 


Hot water heating is “ecommended for prac- 
tically every kind and size of building where a 
steady, easily controlled heat is required day after 
day. It is superior to any other system in range of 
control, since the heat is easily regulated from 
merely warm to extremely hot, as wished. Steam 
has the advantage that quicker, more intense heat 
can be obtained, and the heat can be carried longer 
distances or to greater heights. For instance, steam 
heat is almost universally used in the tall city build- 


mn 


ings and wherever the heat is carried from one 
building to another. Hot water is not heated as high 
as steam, so does not require quite as much fuel, 
although the difference is small. A hot water plant 
costs slightly more than a steam system because 
there is more piping, as you will notice by comparing 
the illustration of hot water heating with that of 
steam heating. 


There is little to choose between a hot water and 
a steam system, although for residences we always 
recommend a hot water system, since it is simpler to 
handle, more easily regulated and in general requires 
less fuel. 


The Advantages of Warm Air Heating 

The principles and action of warm air heating 
are shown thoroughly by the illustration below. 
Air is heated in the upper part of the furnace and 
rises through the pipes to the rooms above. It con- 
tinues to rise while hot, and then as it cools begins 
to drop again, since cold air is heavier than warm air. 
In our warm air systems provision is made to lead 
the cooled air through a return air register and 
passage back to the furnace again, where it is 
reheated and again rises. 

Our Hercules Warm Air Systems have several 
advantages over other methods. To heat every part 
of the house by a warm air system it is absolutely 
necessary to have good air circulation. This is easy 
to understand when you consider what happens when 
you blow air into a bag. After you have blown ina 
certain amount of air it is impossible to get any 


fel oe

more in, It is the same in filling a house with warm 
air. If no provision is made to keep the air moving 
by returning it to the furnace after cooling, the 
system ceases to act efficiently after the heat has 
been on for awhile, and the results are unsatisfactory. 
A second very important advantage of the circula- 
tion afforded by our system is its healthfulness. 
Scientists have proved that if the air in a building 
is kept in motion it will continue fit for breathing 
purposes much longer than where there is no circula- 


20: 


SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. 


tion, even if no fresh air is permitted to enter. Asa 
matter of fact, plenty of fresh air enters through the 
doors and windows of any house. 


Warm air heating systems are particularly recom- 
mended for churches, halls and other buildings of 
only one or two floors, where it is usually necessary 
to heat up quickly and thoroughly for a few hours 
and then the fire is allowed to go out. For private 
homes, where the furnace can be centrally located 
and where it is not necessary to run very long pipes; 
where, furthermore, there are only two or three 
floors to heat, a warm air plant gives excellent results 
when installed according to the plans we will furnish. 
It is only necessary to remember that air quickly 
loses its heat if it must be carried too far in the pipes 
before reaching the different rooms. A warm air 
heating system is not recommended to heat rooms 
located at a horizontal distance of more than 30 feet 
from the furnace. 


Warm air plants cost less than hot water or steam 
plants. The registers take up less space in the rooms 
than the radiators of the other plants. The con- 
tinuous circulation of the air in the rooms and the 
fact that the air is constantly being mixed with fresh 
air coming in through the doors and windows is an 
advantage that cannot be overlooked. 


Our Pipeless Furnaces 


Our Pipeless Furnaces are the simplest of all 
heating systems and are the least expensive. We 
sell three different kinds of Pipeless Furnaces— 
our Hercules Pipeless, our Volcano Pipeless and 
our Hummer Pipeless. These Furnaces are illus- 
trated and described on pages 26 and 27. The design 
and construction of each are fully explained, so that 
you can easily select the furnace which is best 
suited to your requirements. 


Our Hercules Pipeless Furnace is the most effi- 
cient of the three, as the cold air is taken from the 
living rooms and is brought down in an outer space 
which surrounds the entire furnace, forming an insu- 
lating cloak around the furnace through which it is 
almost impossible for any heat to escape. The heat 
must pass to your living rooms upstairs, and none of 
it is wasted in the basement. 


Our Volcano Pipeless Furnace is built exactly the 
same as our Hercules, except that it has no outer 
cold air return chamber. In this furnace the cold 
air is taken from the basement. 


Our Hummer Pipeless Furnace also takes the cold 
air from the basement and is especially adapted for 
burning wood. All of these pipeless furnaces are 
guaranteed to do all we claim for them and to give 
satisfactory service in every respect. 


In our heating department we employ expert heat- 
ing engineers who have had years of experience in 
estimating and designing heating plants of all kinds 
for every description of building. Our estimate to 
you is made out by experts with the sole idea of 
giving you perfect satisfaction in the heating of your 


building with a plant that will meet every demand 
made upon it by the very coldest weather. We keep 
a copy of the estimate with your letter. 


If installed according to our plans, drawn specially 
for your building, we guarantee satisfactory results 
with any of the four styles. There are certain cases 
in which it would be impossible to guarantee satis- 
faction with a warm air plant. In case you ask us 
for an estimate on a warm air system for a building 
in which we know such a system would not give 
satisfactory results, we promise to give you our 
impartial advice as to the best system to use.

Our Care in Filling Your Order 


When your order is received it is referred to one 
of our heating experts, who then makes a working 
drawing or layout of the plant, under the supervision 
of the manager, planning the arrangements in a way 
that will insure the best results with the use of the 
least amount of fuel. For instance, in hot water or 
steam systems, if it is found that a pipe must be run 
for a considerable distance from the main line, this 
pipe is increased in size to insure perfect circulation. 
The expert sees to it also that no registers for warm 
air heating are placed where the pipe will be exposed 
to the cold before reaching the proper room. 


After the working plans have been carefully laid 
out and approved by the manager, a list of all the 
items necessary for erecting the plant is made in 
three copies. The original copy is sent to you, the 
second copy is used for filling the order and the third 
copy is kept by us for future reference. On a pipe 
order blank each piece of pipe is set down, with size 
and length. From this the pipe is carefully cut in 
the exact lengths necessary, and in the case of steam

and hot water pipe, it is also carefully threaded and 
reamed in our pipe shop. 

After all the materials necessary for your plant 
have been gathered together they are carefully re- 
checked and inspected before being packed, to make 
doubly sure your Hercules plant will not only be

complete but will also prove satisfactory in every 
sense of the word. With your order we send you 
the complete working plans for installing the plant 
in your particular building, as well as a booklet of 
complete directions for every operation. To bring 
about the very best results our working plans should 
be followed precisely. Our heating experts have had 
wide experience and know their business thoroughly.

We always arrange for the easiest and best installa- 
tion. Although we will, if possible, locate boilers or 
furnaces, radiators or registers where our customers 
would like to place them, we are careful to plan for 
efficiency first of all. If you follow our plans we 
guarantee you the satisfaction you look for.

You Can Easily Install Your Own 
Heating System 


The great majority of our customers have installed 
their plants themselves, or with the aid of some 
handy man only. You will have no trouble in install- 
ing your Hercules plant so that it will work perfectly 
if you follow our drawings and instructions carefully. 
Thousands have done it, even though they have 
never done that sort of work before. If, however, 
you wish to have the work done, the cost will be a 
small item. For hot water and steam plants the 
average charge is from $7.00 to $9.00 per radiator for 
labor covering the installation of the entire plant. 
For instance, to install a plant with eight radiators 
would cost from $56.00 to $72.00, depending on the 
location. For a warm air plant the usual charge is 
from $30.00 to $40.00. 


Our experts are at your service, and free of charge, 
to plan and estimate for you, and to help you in 
ordering the proper material to give the best results. 
You are aiming to have modern heating in your home 
at some time. Why not begin now to plan the 
system? 

As a matter of fact, you cannot do better than to 
buy at an early date. Certainly the cost is reasonable 
enough if you buy your plant from us at our low 
prices. We advise you to take advantage of these 
prices and get your heating plant installed so you 
will be able to enjoy the convenience and advantages 
it will give you. 


A Suggestion 


Fill out the enclosed information blank at all 
events and get our estimate. Then you can do your 
figuring after our estimate arrives. When you see 
our reasonable figure for the complete plant and 
begin to think of the comfort it will bring you for 
years and years to come, we are confident you will 
not want to be without modern heat any longer. 


Follow the footsteps of thousands of pleased cus- 
tomers who would not sell their Hercules Heating 
Plants at any price if they could not get another.

Hercules Warm Air Furnaces 


The High Grade Construction of Our Hercules Warm Air Furnaces 


View showing our One-Piece Base Plate, Ash Pit and Grate Bars used on all our warm air 
Me aes: both pipeless and regular. Any one grate bar can be removed without disturbing 
the rest. 


All of our warm air furnaces, pipeless included, are made in one of the most up to date foundries in Ohio, under 
the direct supervision of one of the most expert furnace manufacturers in the United States. Every feature and 
part of these furnaces has been worked out after many years of experience in the furnace business, and while we expect 
to continue to improve our furnaces as time goes on, we have at the present time a most efficient line of furnaces. 


Great Care Used in Making 


Our furnace castings are all made from fine grained gray cast iron. The patterns from which the various castings 
are made are perfect, insuring parts that are uniform and that will fit properly together. Every furnace is set up com- 
plete on the floor of the mounting room, the doors or other parts carefully ground and fitted, and the pieces all marked 
with the same serial number. Atter being carefully inspected for proper fitting of parts, etc., each furnace is taken apart 
and the small parts carefully packed together to insure safe travel in shipping. The serial number painted on the 
castings by the mounter makes it easy for the shipping department to prevent various orders becoming mixed, and it 
also helps the freight handlers on the railroad, and even the man setting up the furnace has an assurance in these 
numbers that he is putting together the identical same castings that were given the final approval of the inspector at 


the foundry. 
Gastight Joints 


The illustration below shows a cut away view of the construction of the all-cast radiators used on our Hercules 
Volcano Futnaces. The deep tongue and groove joint is carefully fitted and packed with asbestos cement before the 
parts are bolted together. This makes a thoroughly reliable gastight joint, and the radiator, when complete, is con- 
sidered better than a one-piece casting, as it allows for expansion and prevents the radiator from cracking when 
unevenly heated. 

The radiator on the Hummer Furnace is also gastight. The steel drum and the cast iron top and bottom are bolted 
tightly together after the joint has been packed with asbestos fiber and cement. 


Removable Triangular Grate Bars 
Each furnace has four bars of the latest improved triangular revolving type. 
These bars are so hung in the grate frame that any one particular bar can be 
removed in two minutes’ time. The triangular bar permits the using of a 
different grate surface each day and in this way the life of the grate is greatly 
prolonged. For each surface exposed to the fire there are two cooling surfaces, 
making the burning out of the grates extremely difficult. The only possible 
way to warp or melt the bars is by allowing the ashes to accumulate under 
them and shut off the flow of air about them. Our ash pit is purposely con- 
structed wide and high, so as to have a large ask capacity. One of the main 
features of the triangular bars is the ease 
with which clinkers and ashes are removed 
from the fire pot. The revolution of the 
bars simply grinds the clinkers and ashes 
into small particles and forces them down 
into the ash pit. 


Large, Heavy Cast Iron Fire Pots 


Our fire pots are all made very heavy 
and are designed especially to withstand 
hard service. The fire pots are provided

MAKE YOUR OWN 
—=— _—eTERMS = 


See Page 2. 


This furnace has been built especially 
to meet the demand of those who must 
have a large feed door to take big chunks 
of wood or coal. The fire pot is made 
correspondingly large and roomy and a 
very heavy body of fire can be carried. 


This type of construction is not quite so good as 
our Hercules Volcano shown on page 25, but for 
the purpose for which it is intended it makes a 
very good furnace. 


This furnace is generally used for burning block 
wood or soft coal, but it will also burn cobs, slack, 
stumps or brush. If wood is to be used alone an 
additional iron disc grate must be used to cut 
down the amount of air openings and prevent the 
fuel from burning too freely. This wood burning 
grate costs $2.10 extra. 


Detailed Description 


Base Plate—This furnace has a solid one-piece cast iron 
base plate, consisting of the ash pit bottom and the outer 
base ring connected by five extra heavy cast iron arms. 

Ash Pit—Unusually deep and roomy, with plenty of space 
for ashes without danger of burning out the grates. 

Grates—Heavy triangular revolving bar type. This type 
of grate is by far the most convenient and efficient. Grates 
are operated by means of a shaker handle working the two 
outer bars, which are connected by cogs to the two center 
bars. A turn or two of the shaker handle cleans the entire 
grate surface of ashes. When wood alone is used for fuel a 
wood burning grate must be used, as explained above. 

Fire Pot—Cast in two heavy sections, the middle joint 
allowing for expansion and contraction. -Extra deep and 
wide cup joints prevent gas from escaping. Entire fire pot 
a conrus heed, increasing the radiating surface to almost 

ouble. 

Radiator—Made of cold rolled steel plate, riveted like a 
boiler, with cast iron top and cast lower ring. The steel 
sides are firmly bolted to the cast top and bottom, making 
a thoroughly gastight joint. A cast iron diving flue forces 
the flames and smoke to go clear to the top of the radiator 
before they can enter the smokepipe, thus permitting a very 
large part of the heat to be saved that would otherwise 
go up the chimney. The diving flue is hung on lugs and is 
easily replaced when burned out. 

Casings—Made of 26-gauge bright galvanized iron. Up- 
per section of side casing is lined .with a thickness of 
asbestos felt, with an inner lining of corrugated bright 
tin plate. This lining prevents loss of heat by radiation in 
the basement. The bright tin lining acts as a reflector, 
throwing the heat back and warming the air as it passes 
through the casing. The lower section of the casing does 
not need to be lined, as that is where the cool air comes in. 

Doors—In this furnace it is possible to have an extra 
Jarge fire door. This makes the Hummer Furnace especially 
suitable for burning wood, as large chunks can be put into 
the fire pot. The ash pit door is also large, making it easy 
to clean out the ashes. 

Water Pan—A large cast iron water pan, which is kept 
filled with water to moisten the air and keep it wholesome. 

Accessories—With every furnace we supply an oxidized 
copper plated damper regulator, to be screwed to the base- 
board in the ane oe ee Pies and epanel i pore

This all cast iron radiator type of fur- 
nace is considered the most satisfactory 
for all purposes. It is very simple in con- 
struction, is made strong throughout and 
will burn any kind of fuel—soft coal, hard 
coal, coke or wood. It is very economical 
in the consumption of fuel, has an unusu- 
ally large amount of radiating surface and 
with good care ought to last a lifetime. 
The parts are all carefully made and fitted 
at the factory, so they will go together 
without any trouble. 


Detailed Description 


Base Plate—This furnace has a solid one-piece cast iron 
base plate, consisting of the ash pit bottom and the outer 
base ring, connected by five extra heavy cast iron arms. 


Ash Pit—Unusually deep and roomy, with plenty of space 
for accumulation of ashes without danger of burning out

Grates—Heavy triangular revolving bar type. This style 
of grate is by far the most convenient and efficient. Oper- 
ated by means of a shaker handle working the two outer 
bars, which are connected by cogs to the center bar. A 
turn or two of the shaker handle grinds out the ashes and 
clinkers from the grate surface. 


Fire Pot—Cast in two sections, the middle joint allowing 
for expansion and contraction. Extra deep and wide cup 
joints prevent gas from escaping. Entire fire pot is heavily 
corrugated, increasing the radiating surface to almost 
double. 


Feed Section—Made extra strong and fully corrugated to 
increase the radiating surface. 


Radiator—All cast iron. Made in two pieces. The upper 
and lower parts are fitted together with a tongue and groove 
joint, well bolted and packed with asbestos, making a thor- 
oughly sealed gas tight connection. Fire and smoke travel 
around both sides of the radiator before going out the smoke 
pipe. 

Casing—Made of 26-gauge bright galvanized iron. Upper 
section of side casing is lined with a thickness of asbestos 
felt, with an inner lining of corrugated bright tin plate. 
This lining prevents loss of heat by radiation in the base- 
ment. The bright tin lining acts as a reflector, throwing 
the heat back and warming the air as it passes through the 
casing. The lower section of the casing does not. need to 
be lined, as that is where the cool air comes in. 


Doors—Very large, making it convenient to feed and clean 
the furnace. Extra clean out door furnished with each fur- 
nace, so that the radiator can be turned so the smoke pipe 
can enter at any direction desired. 


Water Pan—Large iron vapor pan to be kept filled with 
water to moisten the air and keep it wholesome. 


Accessories—With every furnace we supply an oxidized 
copper plated damper regulator, to be screwed to the base- 
board in the living room, with chains and pulleys for con- 
necting it to the check and draft dampers; asbestos cement 
for the joints; shaker handle and poker, and bolts for 
fastening the different parts together.

Simplest and Most Economical of Al] 
Heating Systems 


Our Pipeless Furnaces are the simplest of all systems of heating and, 
by reason of their extreme simplicity, they are, without any question, 
the most economical in fuel. ‘The heat is delivered to your rooms almost 
instantaneously, without passing through any long system of pipes, so 
there is practically no heat wasted in the basement. Your basement 
will always be cool enough for vegetables, and for every shovelful of 
coal you put into this furnace you will get big returns in actual heat. 
units in your rooms. This is the reason our Pipeless Furnaces have 
become so popular, 


Keeps Entire House Comfortably Warm. 


Our Pipeless Furnaces not only keep the room in which the large 
register is placed comfortably warm, but experience has proved that in 
any ordinary residence where one of our Pipeless Furnaces is installed 
(if the doors between adjoining rooms are left open, or registers 
installed in the ceiling, so as to allow a reasonable amount of circula- 
tion between the rooms), every room will be comfortably warm. 


Easy to Instali. 


Our Pipeless Furnaces cost little more than a stove and are almost as 
easy to install. A man and a boy can easily set up this furnace in 
half a day. Complete instructions are furnished with each outfit so that 
you will understand just how ail the parts go together. It does not 
require an expert mechanic. Anyone who can set up an ordinary heating 
stove Ca’ install this furnace by following our simple instructions, 


Size to Order. 


Figure up the total cubic contents of your building and select a 
furnace of corresponding capacity from the table below. 

If you live in a real cold climate, or your house is unusually hard to 
heat, or if you will burn wood or soft coal, we would recommend order- 
ing one size larger furnace. It is always better to have a furnace a 
little larger than is actually required. ; 

If you prefer we will estimate the size furnace you require for your 
building. Fill out the special heating information blank enclosed with 
this catalog carefully and return it to us. Our engineers will figure 
the correct size furnace and we will quote a price, including all freight 
charges, to your station if you wish.

This furnace differs from our Volcano Pipeless 
and our Hummer Pipeless in the construction of 
the casing. It will be observed that in this fur- 
nace the coid alr 1s taken from the living rooms. 
It enters the large register around the sides and 
drops down to the base of the furnace, where it 
turns up under the inner casing and passes over 
the hot surfaces of the furnace, becoming heated 
again, and it is then discharged into the rooms 
upstairs through the center of the large register 
as shown. 

This circulation of the warm air to the living 
rooms and the cold air to the furnace goes on 
continuously as long as there is a fire in the 
furnace, and causes the warm air to circulate to 
all parts of the building.

Our Hummer Pipeless Furnace is without a 
doubt one of the simplest and best pipeless fur- 
naces on the market for use where all kinds of 
various fuels are burned, and especially for burn- 
ing wood. i 

This furnace has a large steel drum combustion chamber 
which is covered with a heavy cast iron top plate, all parts 
being well made and carefully cemented, bolted or riveted, 
making sound, gastight joints. 

It is built in the same way as our Hercules Hummer Fur- 
nace described on pages 36 and 39 of our special Heating 


Catalog. 
A Rapid Heater. 


This furnace is a rapid heater, giving almost instantaneous 
results from a very small fire. We recommend this furnace 
to you with the assurance that you will be more than pleased 
with the results it gives. It is really surprising what a large 
volume of heat it gives from a small amount of fuel. 

Adjustable for any height of basement from 6 to 8 feet. 

Prices include furnace complete with large steel register, 
check damper, shaker, pulleys and cement.

It is impossible to quote prices in this 
catalog on all the materials necessary for a 
heating plant that will heat every home. Every 
heating plant must be designed for the home it 
is intended to heat. Very few homes are iden- 
tical in construction and location. The heating 
plant—boiler, radiation, etc—that will satis- 
factorily heat a 5-room bungalow in Southern 
Missouri could not be expected to heat the same 
bungalow in Montana, because climatic condi- 
tions are different. The term 5-room house 
really means nothing to the heating engineer 
and expert, so far as guaranteeing satisfaction 
in a heating plant is concerned, because one 5- 
room house may be 28x32 with 9-foot ceilings, 
all rooms on one floor. Another 5-room house 
may have the same area, 28x32, but there may 
be 3 rooms downstairs and 2 upstairs. It is 
obvious, therefore, that different types and 
sizes of radiators are necessary; more piping is 
required for the house with two floors than for 
the house with all rooms on one floor. 


It is far better, and we recommend, that you 
permit us to study your heating problem and 
allow us to estimate on a complete plant, espe- 
cially designed for your house. It is much more 
satisfactory, and we can guarantee absolute 
satisfaction in every detail. Just fill out the in- 
formation blank properly, answer all questions 
carefully, and we will gladly quote price on a 
plant for your individual home. You will be 
under no obligation to us whatsoever.

How Boiler Ratings Are Figured. 


All hot water and steam boilers are rated according to the actual square feet of radiation they will carry at the boiler. 
Notice in the preceding pages that the heating capacity of a boiler is always given in square feet of radiation. 
ratings are based on a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit, while steam ratings are figured on a basis of 2 pounds press- 
ure. These ratings do not include the heating surfaces of the flow pipes, return pipes and connections. 
boiler necessary to heat a building, we add 75 per cent to the total square feet of heating surface contained in the radiators 


that are to be used. This is to allow for the heat lost from the mains and connections and 
also to insure a reserve capacity. When a coil or water heater is placed in the fire pot to 
heat water for domestic use, allow 2 square feet of radiation additional for hot water 
and 1% square feet for steam for every gallon of water contained in the range boiJer or 
storage tank. For instance, if a 30-gallon range boiler is to be connected to a fire pot 


Let Us Submit an Estimate 
on a Heating Plant 
for Your Home. 


No two homes are identical in con- 
struction. It is, therefore, impossible 
to make a definite price in this catalog 
on a heating plant including the boiler, 
radiators and all pipe and fittings. 
Even a plant designed for a five-room 


house may heat one home satisfacto- 
rily, but fail to do so in another location 
because of the different arrangement 


of rooms, etc. It is better to fill out 
carefully the information blank in this 
catalog and let us furnish you an esti- 
mate on a plant that we will guarantee 
to heat your home in a satisfactory 
manner.

different sized buildings. 


coil or heater, figure on 60 square feet 
extra radiation when selecting a hot 
water boiler and 37% square feet extra 
when selecting a steam boiler. 


The Best Fuel to Use. 


The ratings of all Hercules Boilers 
were obtained with a hard coal fire. The 
small egg size will be found the most suit- 
able. If you will use soft coal, coke or 
wood, select a boiler with a radiation 
equal to just twice the total amount of 
heating surface contained in the radia- 
tors, or 25 per cent greater than you will 
need when burning hard (anthracite) 
coal. Soft coal requires a greater grate 
surface because it cakes together and will 
not let the air pass through readily. It 
also requires more heat absorbing sur- 
face, as the soot settles in the flues and 
is harder to remove than the dust from 
hard coal. A deposit of soot on the heat- 


ing surfaces of any boiler will greatly re- 5 


duce its efficiency, as it acts as an insula- 
tor, preventing the heat from passing 
through into the water.

Electric Light and Power 


Every Home Should Have Electricity 


The farm should be equipped with elec- 
tricity for the same reasons that it is 
used in cities and towns—because it has 
proved safer, more convenient, far more 
healthful and useful than the old fash- 
ioned kerosene lamp. 


In the first place electricity would 
mean excellent light whenever and wher- 
ever you wanted it, at the mere turning 
of a switch or pressing of a button. You 
would have your electric lamps placed 
wherever you would need them, through- 
out the house, in the rooms, closets and 
halls, from cellar to attic. You would 
have one or two on the porch, on the 
path or road leading to the house, and 
a good size one at the gate. Then you 
would have one or more at the garage, the 
pump house, the workshop, the henhouse, 
other outbuildings, at various points on 
your place according to necessity, and 
especially in the barn and the barnyard. 
How convenient and at the same time 
how perfectly safe to turn on an electric lamp down at the 
barn on a dark morning! No trouble at all, and—most 
important—you have no occasion to use matches and oil 
lanterns, which have been responsible for so many fires 
on the farm. And then, when the darkness comes so early 
during the Winter, to be able to go up into the loft and 
pitch down the hay by bright electric light! 


Besides being fine and bright, electric light is always 
steady, burning without a flicker in draft or strong wind. 


Then your electricity will do many a chore for you. 
It will run a washing machine, a churn, a cream separator, 
a pump, a vacuum cleaner, a sewing machine, an electric 
fan and a small motor for the workshop.

Safety First, Last and Always. 


Easy to Install 


Our electric light and power plants 
consist of just four main parts: 


1. The Generator or Dynamo. 

2. The Switchboard. 

3. The Storage Battery. 

4. The Source of Power (gasoline en- 
gine or other power). 


Since many of our customers AL- 
READY OWN GASOLINE ENGINES, 
we list our plants without them, noting 
with each plant the horse-power required 
to operate the generator at full load. 
With these plants you do not have to 
invest in an engine that is of no other 
use than for lighting. IF YOU HAVE 
NO ENGINE AT PRESENT, take into 
consideration that if you buy an engine 
to charge your electric light plant, you 
will be able to get much more work out 
of it than merely charging the plant, 
which takes only a few hours a week. 
A line shaft connected with your engine 
will enable you to run several machines 
and our generator at the same time, the number of 
machines depending on the horse-power of your engine. 
Of course, you can use the engine alone for many purposes. 
You may use water power, gas, gasoline, oil or steam 
engine, whichever you find most convenient or economical. 


We recommend our Economy Gasoline Engines, shown 
on pages 55 and 56. Our engines are high grade and we 
can save you money. A clear Instruction Book comes 
with each engine, so that those who have never before run 
one find no difficulty in operating it. 


The engine is connected with the generator by a belt. 
The other parts are connected by two or three wires. 
On the storage battery the different cells must be con- 
nected, and the connectors are plainly marked. 


Does This Sound 
Difficult? 


I received the 
plant from the rail- 
road station at 
night and the next 
day before dinner I 
had the whole outfit 
installed. I don’t 
see how anyone 
could go wrong after 
reading your book 
of instructions.

Electric Lighting Plant of E. E. Matter, Plainfield, Ill., Purchased From Us. 


Plenty of Light—Clean and Handy. 


We have one of your electric light plants installed since September 1, 1914. It has proven very satisfactory in every respect. We have plenty 


of light and find it clean and handy. 


The plant was easy to install and easy to understand. We have forty-nine lamps (bulbs) in the house, one in 


the garage, and five in the barn. We charge the battery about four or five hours each week; also have a line shaft and use the engine to run an air 


compressor for our water system,

Generator for Our 
Large Plant. 


A generator or dynamo is sim- 


ply a machine for changing me- 
chanical power into electrical 
power. Our generators are prop- 
erly designed and in every way 
fitted to our plants. Because of 
their rugged construction they 
will even stand an overload for 
short periods and can carry a 
smaller overload up to 25 per cent 
for continuous runs. They will 
all supply more current than is 
actually required to charge our

Letters From Satisfied Users 


Would Not Do Without It. 

Our plant gives us the best of satisfaction, We 
would not do without it. A person does not fully 
appreciate the value of a plant until he installs one 
on a farm, We have four lights in the barn, one in 
the garage, two in the corn crib, besides the other 
lights about the place. We also run a vacuum 
cleaner,

Best Light in This Part of Country. 

I have your plant installed and it works splen- 
didly. I have eighteen lights in the house and three 
in the barn and we have light any time of the day 
or night at turn of a switch. Without a doubt, we 
have the best light in this part of the country, and 
many people have seen our plant and are interested 
in it. I charge my battery about three to four hours 
a week. It was very easy to install your electric 
lighting plant. I did the work myself, including the 
wiring.

Our Instruction Book 


The day your plant is shipped one of our 
Instruction Books is mailed to you, so that 
before the plant arrives you will have an 
opportunity to become familiar with the 
various parts and their relation to one 
another. This book also deals fully with the 
operation and care of our Farm Electric 
Lighting Plant. We have spared no expense 
to make this book one of the most practical, 
helpful handbooks ever published. The 
numerous illustrations are all made from 
actual photographs. These show exactly how 
every connection is made, and we tell you 
just what to do and when and how to do it to 
get the best results. With this book in hand 
it is almost impossible to make a mistake, as 
the letters from our customers show.

The Storage Battery 


The storage battery of an electric plant compares with the storage tank of a 


water supply system. 


It stores up electrical energy so that light or power may 


be had at any time at the turn of a switch. Without a storage battery it would 
be necessary to run the generator every time you wished to light a lamp or use 
electricity in any way. It would not pay to run an engine for only one or two lights. 


Two Types of Batteries 


We sell two types of batteries, pasted plate in sealed glass jars and the Plante 


plate in open glass jars. 
Battery Company. 


Both types are manufactured by the Willard Storage 


Pasted plate batteries are so named because the plates are made by pressing

into a frame made of alloy a lead paste, which is the active material of the plate. 
In our pasted plate batteries these plates are packed very closely, with separators 
between them. This method of construction assists in preventing the active

Jar, Pasted

for any material that may fall during the life of the battery. 


Our Plante plate batteries are contained in open glass jars. The plates are solid lead sheets made with countless fine 
grooves to expose more surface to the action of the electrolyte (the active liquid with which the jars are filled). 


Comparison of Types of Batteries 

Both types are guaranteed to give good service. Glass 
jar batteries make it easy to see the condition of the cells 
and easy to regulate. 

Sealed glass jar batteries have the advantage over the 
Plante plate type in that they are shipped fully charged 
and ready for immediate use. Sealed glass jar types of 
batteries are now generally used in lighting plant work 
and are proving very satisfactory for this class of service. 

It is impossible for anyone to tell you exactly how 
long any battery will last. Certainly no battery will last 
a lifetime, because each time the battery is cnarged or 
discharged a chemical action takes place which in time 
wears away the plates. 


Storage Battery Capacity 

The capacity of a storage battery is measured in ampere- 
hours, the number of amperes of current that will flow in 
a certain number of hours. All our batteries bear STAND- 
ARD ratings, which are based on the number of amperes 
that will fow out in EIGHT hours. 

To explain, when we state in our description of a plant 
that the battery is an 80-ampere battery, we mean that it 
will give a steady current of 10 amperes for eight hours. 
If you need only 5 amperes, this amount of current will 
flow for sixteen hours before the battery is fully discharged 
(80+5=16). It is a peculiar fact, however, that when you 
use current faster than the eight-hour rate of your battery, 
you will not get the full capacity out of it. For instance, 
if you use 14 amperes steadily from your 80-ampere-hour 
battery, it will give this current for only about five hours, 
or only 70 ampere-hours altogether. 

Some firms give the capacity of their electric plants in 
lamps only. A plant may be called a twenty-lamp plant or 
a fifty-lamp plant. But lamps are of different sizes, using 
up different amounts of current. You should also know 
how many hours the plant will light the number of lamps 
given. You will notice in the descriptions we give of our 
plants, on pages 36 to 42, that we give the exact sizes of 
lamps and the exact number of hours they may be used 
with each plant. 

There is still another way of figuring the capacity of 
an electric plant. We explain this method (the watt-hour 
method) on page 34, where we show you how to figure 
the size battery you need for your place. 

The life of ANY battery depends: 

(1) On how often and how hard it is used; 

(2) On the care given it; 

(3) On the kind of battery and the size and thickness 

of the plates. 


In regard to the first two points, if our directions are 
followed—and they are easy to follow—our batteries will 
last as long as any and much longer than many of their 
type. As regards the third point, the well known Willard 
batteries supplied with our plants are considered among 
the best of their kind, and in our descriptions of our plants 
we give you full information as to size of plates, etc. 


We Guarantee Our Batteries 

We guarantee our storage batteries for a definite num- 
ber of years, depending upon the type. 

We guarantee our Plante Plate Batteries for 5 years. 
(NOTE—The electrolyte (liquid in the jars) and the 
separators need to be renewed in two and one-half to three 
years after the battery is installed.) 

We guarantee our Sealed Glass Jar Batteries for 3% 
years. 

The above guarantees are based on the following con- 
ditions: 

(1) Batteries are to be installed and operated accord- 

ing to our instructions. 


(2) Batteries to receive not more than two full 
charges each week to serve your needs. 


If for any reason the entire battery, or any part thereof, 
proves defective or fails to give good service within the 
period for which the particular type is guaranteed, it will 
be replaced on a basis of the service rendered and a full 
term guarantee will be then issued for the new parts. 


Plante Battery 


In other words, if some parts of our Plante battery 
should prove defective, or for some reason other than 
abuse did not give good service at the end of three years, 
we will replace them for three-fifths the price of new parts, 
and will give a new guarantee of five years on the new 
parts. You will see that this is perfectly fair when you 
consider that, in the case cited, the old parts would have 
only two more years to run, and we would give you new 
parts which we guarantee for FIVE years, or three years 
more than you originally paid for. 


Sealed Glass Jar Battery 


For example, if some part or the whole battery should 
prove defective at the end of two and one-half years, we 
will replace it for 2% divided by 3%, or five-sevenths of 
the price of the new part or battery, and give a new guar- 
antee of three and one-half years on the new material. 


SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO. 


Choose the Right Size Plant 


The size electric plant to order is fig- 
ured very much the same way as you 
figure the size tank for a water supply 
system. You figure the size of the water 
tank not by the number of faucets or 
other outlets so much as by the 
NUMBER THAT WILL, BE USED 
EVERY DAY, their size, the length of 
time the water will be running, and 
finally by how often it will be necessary 
to fill the tank. And you may either 
pump a little water every day, or may 
fill the tank once a week or so. 


In the same way the size electric plant 
to order can be-determined by the num- 
ber of lamps and electrical appliances 
that will be used every day, the size of 
them, the length of time they will be 
used, and how often you wish to charge 
the storage battery. You may, if it is 
convenient, charge the battery a little 
every day, and give it a full charge once 
every three weeks. We give full instruc- 
tions. If you expect to do all your light- 
ing, etc., from your battery, be sure to 
order a plant with a battery large 
enough so that it will not have to be 
given a full charge more than twice a 
week to supply all your needs. It is not 
good for a battery to be given a full 
charge oftener. Of course, if it will be 
convenient to run your generator when- 
ever you wish to use electricity, you 
need not figure on so large a battery. 


Remember, either generator, or battery, 


or both may be used. 


Any Number of Lamps May 
Be Installed With Our 
Plants 


With any of our plants you may put 
up as many lights as you please—fifty or 
a hundred—and place them wherever 
you wish. Of course, with a small plant 
you may not turn on as many lights at 
once as with a large plant. 


Basis of Figures 


You have doubtless noticed, a lamp 
will be called a 15-watt or 20-watt or 
25-watt lamp. A watt is an electrical 
POWER unit, corresponding to one 
seven hundred and forty-sixth of a 
horse-power. 

To save you the trouble of figuring up 
the power required by lamps, tungsten 
and nitrogen lamps are rated in watts 
as well as candle power. This watt 
rating multiplied by the number of hours 
a lamp is allowed to burn will give you 
the work or energy (watt-hours) con- 
sumed by the lamp. Thus, one 20-watt 
lamp burning for one-half hour uses 10- 
watt hours; two 15-watt Jamps burning 


for three hours would use 2x15x3 or 
90-watt hours. 


As in the descriptions of our plants on 
pages 34 to 42 we give the capacity in 
watt hours, you can easily figure how 
much work each plant can do, basing 
your figures on the number of watts 
your lamps and other electrical ap- 
pliances will consume. 


The amount of light given by the 
lamps is told by the candle power (C. P. 
for short). To give you an idea of what 
the different candle powers mean, the 
ordinary barn lantern gives about 4- 
candle power. A kerosene (coal oil) 
lamp with a No. 2 Rochester burner 
gives about 16-candle power. The good 
size oil lamp generally used in dining 
or sitting room gives from 25 to 30- 
candle power, with wick properly trim- 
med, etc. 


These Figures Will 
Help You 


It will be easier for you to figure for 
your own place if we show you how we 
figured for another place that is probably 
not very different. The house had a par- 
lor, living room, dining room, kitchen, 
front hall and front porch on the first 
floor. The second floor had four bed- 
rooms, a bathroom anda hall. 


Now, the parlor and the living room 
should of course have good general il- 
lumination and good light for reading, 
so we gave each room three 20-watt 18- 
candle power lamps. The dining room 
needs good light on the table, but the 
walls and ceiling need not be brilliantly 
lighted. Two 20-watt 18-candle power 
lamps ought to do nicely. The kitchen 
was given one 20-watt 18-candle power 
lamp, the front hall one 10-watt 8-candle 
power lamp, and the front porch one 
10-watt 8-candle power lamp. Each 
bedroom received one 20-watt 18-candle 
power lamp, the hall one 10-watt 8-can- 
dle power lamp, and the bathroom one 
20-watt 18-candle power lamp. Three 
10-watt 8-candle power lamps were al- 
lowed for the barn. Closets and pantry 
can be given 10-watt 8-candle power 
lamps if wished. 


In estimating how much electricity 
would be used, we figured for a SPE- 
CIAL OCCASION in the WINTER, 
in order to be sure that our customer 
would get a plant that would take care 
of ALL his requirements at ANY 
TIME. If there had been some elec- 
trical machine or appliance that he had 
wished to use every day, we should also 
have figured in the amount of current 


consumed by that machine as given in 
the description of it. Asa matter of fact, 
a vacuum cleaner, a churn or a small 
machine of any sort is used only a short 
time, perhaps once a week, and some 
of them use very little current. An elec- 
tric iron and some motors use much 
more current, however, and so it is not 
advisable to have them with the smallest 
plants. In the descriptions of our plants 
on pages 34 to 42 we advise what sort 
of appliances they can handle with ease. 
Be sure you read the descriptions care- 
fully before ordering appliances other 
than lamps. 


Below you will find our figures for 
the place we have described. Remember, 
the time is purposely made a little 
longer than ordinary because it is better 
to have too much than too little.

How to Choose 
the Right Plant 


On the basis of the figures on this 
and the preceding page, the total amount 
of electricity necessary for one day was 
620 plus 230, or 850 watt-hours. 


An 80-ampere-hour 2,560-watt-hour 
plant like our No. 208, page 37, or No. 
309, page 41, with a capacity of 2,560 
watt-hours, would have to be charged 
only about every three days, as 850 goes 
into 2,560 three times. And a 134-am- 
pere-hour 4,288-watt-hour plant like our 
No. 215, page 39, would require charging 
only about every five days. 


Of course, you may find that two 
lights are sufficient in your parlor and 
two in your living room, while one may 
be sufficient in the dining room. It de- 
pends largely on the size of the rooms 
and how many people want to read, or 
the size of the table. The size oil or gas 
lamps you are now using will give you 
some idea of what you ought to have. 
Be sure, however, to figure full, because 
you do not want to be without light dur- 
ing the long Winter nights, and you 
may later find use for more lights than 
you figure on now. Remember, also, 
that it is better not to have to give your 
battery a full charge more than twice a 
week. 


If it will be convenient for you, and 
will not be much extra expense for 
power, to run your generator whenever 
you need electricity, it would cost you 
less to buy a plant with a small battery 


capacity, and then do most of your light- 
ing and other electrical work direct from 
your generator or with the generator 
and battery working together. The de- 
scriptions of the capacities of our plants 
as shown on pages 36 to 42 will enable 
you to figure exactly what you could do 
with each one. 


Wiring and Fixtures 


Your house may already be wired, in 
which case it is only necessary to pur- 
chase the fixtures you desire (such as 
drop cords, chandeliers, wall brackets). 
These fixtures contain the sockets into 
which to screw your lamps. A full line 
of latest designs in high grade fixtures 
are shown in our Catalog of Electric, 
Gas and Combination Fixtures, which 
will be sent you on request. 


If your house is not wired, on receipt 
of the information called for on the en- 
closed information blank, we will fur- 
nish you with an itemized estimate of 
the necessary wire and accessories. 


Bear These Points in Mind 


Bear in mind that it is not the number 
of lights you wish to install that de- 
termines the size plant you need, but the 
number of watts consumed by the lights 
that will be burning every day and the 
length of time they will be burning. 
Consider also how often it will be con- 
venient to charge the battery if you will 
do all your lighting from the battery. 
Figure that it should not be given a full 
charge oftener than twice a week. 


In the descriptions of our plants we 
give not only the number of lights each 
will carry, but also the electrical ap- 
pliances, such as fans, vacuum cleaners, 
electric irons, motors and motor driven 
machines, that can be run, and their 
sizes. The table in next column shows 
what electric motors can do for you. 
The sizes given are for machines of 
ordinary size only. 


Bear in mind, if you are comparing 
plants, that in comparing amperage and 
the number of watts you must know 
whether the battery alone is figured, 
or both the battery and generator. And 
you cannot compare the capacities of 
different plants in lights unless you 
know how long the plants will light the 
lights, and again whether the battery 
alone is figured, or both battery and 
generator together. 


Our descriptions give you length of 
time, as well as all other figures, and 
separately for the battery and for the 
generator. Be sure you get this from 
others, if you want to make compari-~ 
sons. Note that we give eight-hour 
ratings on our batteries, not the so- 


called intermittent rating which makes 
the capacity appear greater.

Our Plants Come Complete 


Remember, our prices include every- 
thing to make the plant complete. In 
addition to the actual equipment of gen- 
erator, battery and switchboard, we 
supply screws, bolts, cleats, leather belt, 
hydrometer (for testing battery cells), 
four extra fuses (safety plugs), Mazda 
lamps, can of generator oil, the neces- 
sary wire to make the switchboard and 
battery connections and other inci- 
dentals, as shown on pages 36 to 42. 


Notice that with each plant we supply 
a certain number of lamps. When writ- 
ing your order be sure to tell us the 
number of lamps of the various sizes 
you want to make up the total furnished 
with your plant, otherwise we will send 
lamps which we believe will best meet 
your requirements. 


We furnish enough wire to connect 
generator with switchboard and switch- 
board with battery, provided the gene- 
rator and the battery are not more than 
15 feet from the switchboard. This dis- 
tance is not measured in a straight line, 
but down the wall and across to the 
generator, as shown in the illustrations 
on the opposite page. If your distances 
will be greater, order additional wire. 
The proper size wire is given in the de- 
scriptions. Ask us any question that 
may occur to you about lighting plants 
and we will gladly explain anything you 
wish, estimate for you and advise you 
to the best of our expert judgment.

that where the electrical power requirements are limited to devices such 
as fans, suction (vacuum) cleaners and small motors up to 4% horse-power, 
this plant meets the average needs. If your total lighting requirements 
average about four 20-watt 18-candle power lamps for four and one-half 
hours a day, this plant will give you light for a week on one full charge 
of the battery.

If you know about how many 10 or 20-watt lamps you will burn every day, divide the 
corresponding number of hours here given by the number of hours you would use the lamps 
every night. This will tell you how many nights the battery will furnish light on one full charge. 


What This Plant Will Do 


This plant we find fulfills the requirements of about three-fourths of the 
requests for estimates which we receive. It will operate an electric iron, electric 
fans, suction (vacuum) cleaners, electric water supply outfits (page 5), and 
motor driven appliances up to %4 horse-power. When the generator is running 
you can use a % horse-power motor. 

If your total lighting requirements average six 20-watt 18-candle power lamps 
for four hours a day, this plant will give you light for a week on one full charge 
of the battery. This is probably a great deal more candle power than you are 
using at the present time, if you are using kerosene lamps and lanterns, but 
remember, that besides having safer, cleaner and more convenient light, you 
are to have more light. 

The generator alone has a capacity of thirty-two 20-watt 18-candle power 
lamps, or forty-three 15-watt 12-candle power lamps. 

The battery alone will light eight 20-watt 18-candle power lamps for three 
hours daily, or three 20-watt 18-candle power lamps for eight hours daily if 
you give the battery one full charge per week, or twice this number of lamps 
if you charge twice a week.

Some Facts and Explanations About Our Lighting Fixtures 


Quality 

Our fixtures are approved by THE UNDERWRITERS’ 
LABORATORIES, INC., under the direction of THE 
NATIONAL BOARD OF FIRE UNDERWRITERS, 
and bear their stamp of approval in the form of their 
serial numbered label. Also, the electrical material, sun- 
dries, etc., are approved by this BOARD. This approval 
is the strongest guarantee of quality obtainable. 

All of our fixtures are manufactured by experienced 
workmen and no detail in even the lowest priced fixture 
has been slighted. 

We do not sell fixtures made of steel, brass plated, 
because they soon discolor and rust. Our fixtures are 
made of GENUINE BRASS of extra heavy gauge (thick- 
ness). They are exceedingly well finished and thoroughly 
coated with high grade lacquer as a preservative. This 
insures durability. 

They are carefully constructed and all connecting joints 
and threads are inspected, insuring accuracy of fit and 
strength. 


Finishes 


We quote the majority of our fixtures in brush (satin) 
brass finish. Where the ceiling canopy, stem or body is 
ornamented or embossed, this ornamentation or embossing 


is retouched with black in the hollows to bring out the 
high lights and richness of the ornamentation, Brush 
(satin) brass or brush brass and black are the most satis- 
factory and practical ways to finish brass fixtures in a great 
majority of patterns. 


_ All of these fixtures are fully equipped with the excep- 
tion of the electric bulbs, completely assembled and wired. 


House Wiring 


It is hardly possible to quote prices on house wiring without knowing 
the size of the rooms, height of ceilings and general plan of the building. 
If you will be sure to answer the questions and make the sketches 
which we ask for on the information blanks enclosed, our experts will 
make a study of your plans and estimate the amount and cost of 
material necessary ‘to wire your house ready to hang the fixtures, 


There are several systems of wiring. The knob and tube system is 
the most economical, but if you live in a town which has special city 
ordinances calling for the conduit system, or any other, send us a 
copy of the ordinances, if possible, and we will gladly quote prices 
to meet the requirements. 


The sets which we illustrate on the following pages have been 
selected with considerable thought and care. The designs and patterns 
are grouped to make pleasing and harmonious combinations. 


If you think you want something different, write for our special 
Gas and Electric Fixture Catalog, which will be sent postpaid. This 
catalog shows a complete line of lighting fixtures and electrical house- 
wiring material.

Equipped with Webster Magneto, furnishing 
a big hot spark on one turn of the flywheel, 
Winter or Summer. No batteries needed. 


Economy Engines Are Built to Last 


Economy Engines were designed and are built by gasoline engine experts. They are made of high grade 
materials and are shipped under our guarantee of satisfaction or your money back, and we replace free of 
charge at any time any parts that you think are defective. 

Economy Engines are built to run continuously day in and day out for years. They have large bearings, large 
crankshafts and heavy flywheels, a simple, sensitive governor, the high grade Webster Oscillating Magneto, a 
fuel saving mixing valve and a speed changing lever; in fact, everything to make an easy, smooth running engine 
that will do your work and do it easily and for a long time. 


Complete, Ready to Run 


When you buy an Economy Engine it is set up complete, with fuel tank in the base of the engine and a pulley 
on the flywheel, so that when the engine reaches you all you have to do is to supply the fuel and follow the 
simple instructions regarding starting. 

Anyone can run an Economy Engine, even though he has never had any experience with an engine, as it is 
simple in construction, and the book that we send you is very complete, telling just how to start the engine and 
also how to run it and take care of it.

“Saved About $150.00.” 
john Hemesath, Ossian, Iowa, writes us: 
—‘Nearly four years ago I installed one of 
your 80 Ampere-Hour Electric Light Plants. 


During all this time it has given excellent ‘* You Can Refer Anyone to Me.” and 
satisfaction. The only expense I had with MATE Waller | hicDerinoth Monto plant. 
it was 5 gallons of electrolite and wood says:—"‘Regarding my lighting plant,

photo of my residence. In the added com- 
fort, convenience and general pleasure we is 
have enjoyed it is of inestimable value. Your 
lighting plant is one of the best investments 
we have in our home.’’ or 


“Saved Me $50.00.” 


P. Petersen, 33 Tenth St., North, Troy, N. Y., 
writes:—‘‘As to saving in coal I do not know yet, 
as last Winter was very mild and we used § tons. 
‘he Winter before was very severe and we used 
11 tons, but in price I saved about $50.60. I am 
well pleased with yo.r plant, and if anyone would 
like to see it they are welcome to. It means so 
much added comfort and convenience. One would 
hardly believe it possible to do so well in buying 
from a catalog. We will gladly tell all our friends 
all about it.’’ 


“Saved Me About 25 Per Cent.” 


G. W. Bates, D. D. S., Winthrop, Me., 
writes:—‘‘I will be glad to have you use my 
name in regard to plumbing purchased from 
you. Am willing to show it to anyone who 
eares to see it. It is perfectly satisfactory in 
every way and at a cost far below others. 
How much I saved I cannot say to a cer- 
tainty, but a saving of 15 per cent would be 
conservative, and it might possibly reach 25 
per cént. I found your outfit to be all your 
eatalog states. Following your instructions, 
it was installed with little effort and small 
cost. It is certainly a pleasure to be able to 
secure a fine plant like yours with such ease 
of ordering and such a big saving in every 
way.”

What Our Customers Say 


“ F ~ 
A Great Time and Work Saver.” 

George J. Wiesemann, LaGrange, Mo., writes 

us:—‘‘I think your lighting plant a great time 


got. You can refer anyone to me. It 


able to secure such a fine lighting 
plant through the easy means of only 


certainly a big advantage to be 


work saver. Would not do without a light

which are also lighted from the plant we pur- 
chased from you. It has given us splendid sat- 
isfaction, and we are more than pleased in every 


dering from a catalog.” way and highly recommend it.’’ 


“Have Shown It to Many People.’ 


Jeppe Sorensen, Mayflower Farm, 
Askov, Minn., writes:—‘‘I have shown 
my heating plant to many people. I 
don’t know for sure exactly what it has 
saved me, but I do know that it is one 
of the best investments we have on our 
farm and we would not want to part 
with it. No farmer can make a mistake 
in installing one. In fact, once in- 
stalled, you will find, as we did, that 
it is one of the best investments we have 
in our home. We cannot estimate the 
comfort it has given us.’’ 


“Saved Me $300.00.” 


E. Vadeboncoeur, 44 Franklin St., 
Derry, N. H., says:—‘‘I_am perfectly 
satisfied with the plant. I saved about 
$300.00 by buying it from you and in- 
stalling it myself. It was like play, the 
plans were so simple. Your heating 
plant adds value to a house, as well as 
meaning so much in home comfort. It 
is a splendid investment for any home. 
It means a great deal to know that you 
can always be sure of good even heat 
with practically little or no trouble and 
small expense.” 


“The Best That Can Be Bought Anywhere.”’ 

Tom Baldwin, Brownwood, Mo., writes:—‘‘I 
would be very glad to show anyone my plant that 
is interested in lighting plants, as I believe that 
they are the best that can be bought at anywhere 
near the same price. I believe that at the time I 
bought my plant I saved at least $200.00, and its 
additional value in general convenience, comfort 
and pleasure cannot be estimated. You might be 
further interested to know that my house was 
built from one of your house plans. We find a 
distinct advantage in trading with Sears, Roebuck 
and Co.—one can secure such good values at such 
a remarkable saving ald great convenience.’’ 


“* Your Instructions Make It Easy to Install.” 


Emil Smith, 1658 Pennsylvania Ave., Flint, 
Mich., writes:—‘‘Your steam heating plant is giv- 
ing perfect satisfaction. As I had the necessary 
tools, I did the pipe reaming, etc., without the 
loan of any other tools or help. I did the work 
in two weeks by the aid of your instructions and 
blue print. Your instructions are so plain that 
one can hardly go wrong and can easily do the in- 
stalling himself, which means more money saved.’” 


“Cost a Third Less.”’ 


Mrs. Edwin I. Clark, Box 107, Berlin, 
Conn,, says:—‘‘We are much pleased with 
the plumbing outfit for our home, and al- 
though I cannot say just how much we 
saved on it, I know it was at least a third 
less than we could get it here. We are 
willing you should use our name in refer- 
ence. Moreover, to any farmer or house 
owner we can truthfully say, from expe- 
rience, that it will be to their interest to 
investigate your plant.’’ 


“Increases Renting Value of Apartments.’’ 


L. C. Thompson, Worland, Wyo., writes: 
—‘‘Enclosed find photograph of the Thomp- 
son Apartments, built in Greybull, Wyo., 
from your Plan No. 247, which was very 
satisfactory, especially the plumbing which 
I ordered from you. The apartments were 
all rented before the building was finished. 
I could easily rent three buildings like it if 
I had them built. An apartment well 
equipped with modern plumbing like yours 
is certainly made more easy to rent, no 
matter what season.’’ 


SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., CHICAGO.» 


“Am Very Well Pleased.” 

P. A. Lee, 4007 Quincy St., N. E., Min- 
neapolis, Minn., writes:—‘‘Enclosed please 
find picture of my house. I am well pleased 
with the plumbing you sent me. I saved 40 
per cent on my bill. Moreover, it is amaz- 
ing, and additionally pleasing, to think that 
one can secure such a fine outfit with such 
little trouble as only ordering through a 


catalog. I am highly pleased and money 
ahead. My outfit was very easily installed 


and is very sunitary and modern. Who would 
ever think, years ago, that they could do so 
well through only a catalog? The public en- 
joys an immense saving through your great 
buying power. We certainly have.’’ 


Our Guarantee Stands the 
Test in the Scales of Justice.
